How does it compare with Xpeng MONA M03 and Ean RT?

After the car was launched, its most direct competitors were Xpeng MONA M03 and Ean RT.

In contrast, the starting price of the LEAPMOTOR B01 is lower. When the body size is similar, the vehicle chip of the LEAPMOTOR B01 is relatively more advanced. In theory, in the later stage of the vehicle, the vehicle upgrade capabilities and use fluency will perform well, and the version with lidar will be cheaper than Ean RT, and the overall cost performance is better.
